Choose your screws

Select a set of screws that fit your junction box from the bags marked A through F. Save a screw from either bag B or C for one of the following steps.

  • Bag A - standard screws that fit most junction boxes
  • Bag B & C - longer screws for recessed junction boxes
  • Bag D, E & F - best for older boxes with smaller screw holes

Attach the metal mounting bracket

Secure the metal mounting bracket with the screws you selected in the previous step.

2. If you’re installing on a wall, the UP arrow should point up when your wires have been fed through the mounting plate.

3. If you’re installing under an eave, the arrow should point toward the wall.

4. Insert one of the screws from Bag B or C into the center hole, then tighten to secure.

Hang up your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro

Locate the nylon strap on the back of your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro light fixture and loop the buckle at the end over the hook on the mounting plate. Make sure that the buckle and hook are secure before releasing the light fixture.

Connecting the wires

WARNING: If you cannot easily identify the wires coming out of your junction box, have difficulty with them or are uncomfortable in any way, consult a licensed electrician.

  1. The green wire on the the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro is the ground wire.
  2. With the power still turned off at the breaker, use a wire nut from the bag marked G to connect the green wire coming from the junction box.
  3. The white wire on the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro is a neutral wire. Use another wire nut from the bag marked G to connect the white (neutral) wire coming from the junction box.
  4. The black wire on the Floodlight Cam Wired Pro is a hot wire. Use another wire nut from the bag marked G to connect the black wire from your Floodlight Cam Wired Pro to the black (hot) wire from your junction box.
  5. Give all three wires a gentle tug to make sure they’re secure.

Mount the fixture

  1. Tuck the wires into the junction box, then align the two holes on the light fixture with the threaded posts on the plastic mounting plate. Slide the light fixture onto the posts and push firmly into place.
  2. Secure the fixture using two of the hex cap nuts from Bag G over the ends of the threaded posts.
  3. Remove the reversible bit from the included screwdriver and use the handle to tighten the hex cap nuts.
